Tag Archives: what to do in canmore

November can get dark, cold and you can get caught up waiting and just dreaming of ski season being in full swing. While you’re waiting to hit the slopes there are some important and fun things going on in November. What are we talking about? Well, it started in Australia, under their November summer sun. It’s called Movember and it was started to raise awarness about men’s health and prostate cancer. There’s a high chance of surviving this cancer if it’s caught early enough. Trouble is, a lot of men opt out of going to the doctor for ‘just a check up’.

The Georgetown Inn is throwing a bash in support of men’s health. In fact, all the Waymarker Men shaved their faces and volunteered to grow a moustache in support of this great cause!

Steam Whistle will be donating a dollar for every pint sold. Other Canmore locals have donated Heli Tours, Dog Sled Tours and other Gift Certificates to be won. Canmore Cabs has donated Free Taxi Rides home.

Head down to The Georgetown Inn Movember 30th to chat about moustaches, mens health and the Grey Cup game with other Mo Brothers like yourself.

Well now you know all about the Triple Crown of Canmore from our previous blog posts! Come join us THIS SUNDAY at 2PM. We will have Free live music from Cabots Crossing, Beer & Burger specials and our amazing guest speaker Amy Trofimuk will be joining us. Amy is a local to Canmore but moved to the big city when her comedian act started getting noticed! Amy is an inspiring speaker, hilarious comedian as well as a wonderful activist for the Canmore Community.
Come listen to her speak about The Triple Crown on Canmore, gain some wisdom, have a laugh and enjoy our sunny picturesque patio!

The Georgetown Inn would like to invite you to join them this Sunday, June 17, 2012 at 2PM for the great kick-off to the hiking season! This is a wonderful way to spend time with your father on Father’s Day. We will have complimentary live music from Cabot’s Crossing, Guest Speakers and Beer and Burger specials!

If you’re feeling really ambitious you can get started on your hikes that morning or afternoon! And remember there is no time limit on completing the 3 hikes. If you’re a hardcore hiking enthusiast you can do all three in one day (like my crazy little brothers did) or if you like to stop and smell the flowers you can enjoy the hikes at a slower pace throughout the summer.

The Triple Crown is all about having an intrinsically rewarding experience. Waymarker CEO, Lockey Craig is quoted saying, “It’s about having a good sleep, a good adventure and a good meal. Everyone deserves it! That’s how my mother took care of me and my two brothers and that’s how I want to take care of my guests, which is why we started The Triple Crown.”

So make sure you bring your dad’s out and get some tips on how to truly enjoy the beautiful rocky mountains that are right in our backyard. I know that’s where I’ll be!

And yes, our bunnies will see their shadows today so bring it on (winter that is). It’s going to be a wonderful day for pretty much anything so go out and enjoy the area! Banff/Lake Louise Snow Days are still on and offering a lot of free fun activities today. All the ski hills are reporting great conditions and the x-country trails up in Kananaskis and Spray Lakes regions are fabulous. Ditto for snowshoeing. Have a great day! >D

Yes Trekkie fans…..rejoice! William Shatner is coming to Banff/Sunshine Village along with a whole whack of stars this coming weekend Jan 13-14th)! So don your favourite Trek gear and come out to cheer him on up at Sunshine this Friday and Saturday (also, I just got back from another stellar ski day at Sunshine – snowed all day and more to come this week!!!). If you’re feeling rich, take in the Waterkeeper Alliance fundraiser dinner ($500 per person) at the Banff Springs and maybe you’ll sit with Alec Baldwin or one of the gang while supporting a great cause. Now, where did my tribble costume go ……….

Very cool picture. Definitely sending out our thoughts and prayers to all those fighting and affected by the wildfires right now. ... See MoreSee Less

Watched a smoky sunset from the top of the Middle Sister, above Canmore, last night with my friend Lukas.
The wildfires made for an interesting effect. Looks like we might be stuck with the smoke for quite some time. Good timing with Lightroom releasing their "dehaze" slider...
